Countries across Europe need to do more to protect the rights of LGBTI people, according to a new index, which says law and policy advances have slowed down across the region. The ‘Rainbow Europe’ index, released today by advocacy group ILGA-Europe, ranks 49 countries in the region on their LGBTI equality laws and policies, giving them a score between 0% (gross violations of human rights, discrimination) and 100% (respect for human rights, full equality).
